Toft, 69, spent three years writing the 55,000-word tome on the history of Saginaw County’s largest suburb.

Toft will sign books from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Friday at the Township Hall, 4980 Shattuck, and from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday at Garber Buick, 5925 State. He will give a talk on the book at 1 p.m. at the dealership.
Illustrator Elizabeth J. Nagel also is expected to attend the signings.

The hardbound 208-page volume with more than 180 photos and illustrations costs $35.

Once publishing expenses are paid, he said, proceeds will benefit the Saginaw Township Community Schools Foundation.
